Your own private catamaran with captain, crew, open bar, and snorkeling. Sailing and power catamarans since 2008.
A private catamaran is the best way to see Punta Cana from the water. Two hulls means rock-solid stability — no seasickness, no spilled drinks. Wide open deck space means room for your whole group to spread out, relax, and actually enjoy the trip. And a dedicated captain and crew means you don't lift a finger.
We've been running private catamaran charters out of Punta Cana since 2008. In 18 years we've learned exactly what makes a great day on a cat: the right boat for your group, a captain who knows the calmest routes, and a crew that handles the food, drinks, snorkeling gear, and music so you don't have to.
Our catamaran fleet includes everything from intimate sailing cats for couples to large party catamarans for groups of 40+. Most charters head to the natural pool and snorkeling stops along the Punta Cana coastline, and our full-day private catamarans run all the way to Saona Island. Featured favorites include the Caribbean Dream Sail, the Private Catamaran to Saona Island, and the Saint Mary Catamaran.

Every private catamaran charter includes a licensed captain and crew, open bar (rum, vodka, beer, sodas, water, juices), food or snacks, snorkeling gear, Bluetooth sound system, and floats. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included on full-day trips. There are no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.
Private catamaran prices in Punta Cana start around $500 for a half-day sailing catamaran and go up to $2,500+ for a full-day private catamaran to Saona Island. Pricing depends on the boat size, group size, duration, and menu. Every charter is all-inclusive — captain, crew, open bar, food, and snorkeling gear.
A sailing catamaran uses wind to move — quieter, greener, and more relaxed. It's ideal for sunset cruises and half-day trips along the coastline. A power catamaran uses engines — faster, more spacious, and better for full-day trips to Saona Island or Catalina Island. Both are stable, kid-friendly, and comfortable.
Our catamarans range from small private cats for 6–10 guests up to large party catamarans that comfortably hold 40–60 people. For weddings, corporate events, or big groups we can arrange boats up to 100 guests. Tell us your group size and we'll recommend the right catamaran.
Absolutely — private catamarans are one of our most popular choices for celebrations. The open deck space is perfect for groups, there's room for music and dancing, and the crew can customize food and drinks for your event. We host weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, and corporate outings regularly.
Yes. A private catamaran to Saona Island is one of the most popular full-day experiences we offer. The trip takes about 7 hours and includes the beach, the natural pool sandbar, snorkeling stops, and a full lunch. On calm days the sail alone is worth the trip.

A catamaran is a twin-hull boat — two parallel hulls connected by a wide deck. That simple design is the reason catamarans have become the most popular charter boat in the Caribbean. Twin hulls mean stability. Stability means no rocking, no seasickness, and a flat deck where everyone can walk around, eat, drink, and sunbathe without holding on to anything.
In Punta Cana, most private catamaran charters run along the Caribbean side of the coastline — the calm, turquoise water south of Cap Cana. The route typically includes a stop at the natural pool (a shallow sandbar in the middle of the ocean), snorkeling over coral reefs, and time to swim at a private beach. Full-day private catamaran charters reach all the way to Saona Island.
Unlike renting a boat back home, a private catamaran charter in the Dominican Republic always includes a licensed captain and crew. You don't need sailing experience. You don't need to bring food or drinks. You show up at the marina, step on board, and everything else is handled — navigation, food, open bar, snorkeling gear, music, sunscreen reminders, even photos.
We've been running catamaran charters out of Punta Cana since 2008. We own and operate the boats. We hire and train the crews. When something needs to be handled, we handle it — because we live here and our reputation is everything.
Every destination is on the calm Caribbean side — warm water, white sand, no rough seas.
The most popular destination for full-day charters. Saona Island is a protected nature reserve with powder-white beaches, shallow turquoise water, and almost no development. Our private yacht trip includes a beach stop with lobster lunch, snorkeling over coral reefs, and a stop at the famous natural pool sandbar. It's a 7-hour experience and the one guests talk about most.
A smaller, quieter island about 90 minutes south of Punta Cana. Catalina is known for its snorkeling — the reef here is one of the healthiest in the Caribbean. It's a full-day trip with fewer crowds than Saona. If your group cares more about marine life and snorkeling than beach lounging, Catalina is the move.
A shallow sandbar in the middle of the ocean where you can stand in waist-deep turquoise water with nothing but sea and sky around you. It's a standard stop on most of our half-day and full-day routes. The crew drops anchor, puts on music, and sets up the floating bar. It's the most photographed moment on every charter.
Half-day charters cruise along the Punta Cana and Bávaro coastline. You'll see the resorts from the water, stop at secluded snorkeling spots, and anchor at calm coves for swimming. It's a 3–4 hour trip that's perfect for smaller groups, families with kids, or anyone who wants a yacht experience without committing to a full day.

For full-day charters, our driver picks you up at your hotel lobby in the morning. The ride to the marina takes 20–30 minutes depending on your resort. Half-day guests meet us directly at the marina.
Your captain and crew greet you at the dock. Life jackets and safety briefing first, then drinks start flowing as soon as you step on board. The music goes on, the lines come off, and you're on the water.
The captain follows the planned route with stops for snorkeling, swimming, and floating. The crew handles everything — setting up the gear, serving food and drinks, even taking photos for you. The natural pool stop is where most groups spend the longest.
Full-day charters anchor at a private beach for lunch — grilled lobster, fresh fish, rice, salad, and tropical fruit on Saona Island trips. Half-day charters include snacks and fruit served on board.
The cruise back is the most relaxing part — sunset on the water with drinks in hand. Once back at the marina, your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel. You'll be back in time for dinner with a sunburn and a full camera roll.
These are real boats based in Punta Cana — not stock photos from a marina in Miami. Every catamaran and yacht listed below is one you can actually board. We know because we operate them.

From our 800+ Google reviews — here's what recent guests had to say.
"The captain and crew did an amazing job with our excursion. My wife and I wanted to treat our wedding guests to a fun day on the boat since everyone traveled so far for our destination wedding, and we were certainly not disappointed by our experience. The Malibu party boat was the best of both worlds with the bar and shade on the lower level and the sun deck and slide on the upper level. The transportation was included and was a very nice bus for the whole group. The boat stopped to do some snorkeling and then went to a cool sand bar area where a bunch of other boats and people were hanging out. Overall, we had a great time, and I would highly recommend."
"We had an awesome experience! The catamaran brought us just a few minutes from the shore, and then we got to go snorkeling. After that, we took another short ride before heading to some shallow water to relax. The food and drinks were excellent, and the crew (including the photographer) were fantastic. The only improvement we’d suggest is more time sailing and less time at the sandbar. We’d highly recommend this as a private charter for a small group."
"We had a really great experience from start to finish. The entire excursion was well organized, the staff was friendly and professional, the drinks were great, and the overall atmosphere was a lot of fun. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you for such an amazing experience we will definitely come back again!"
"Absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly courteous, professional, and helpful. We chartered a yacht through them, and everything went flawlessly easy booking, a well-maintained boat, and excellent support the whole way. A truly enjoyable and stress-free experience. Highly recommend!"
"We celebrated a bachelorette party, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our group is on the more laid-back side, but if you're looking to party, they can easily make that happen too. They're very flexible. They arranged to pick us up right at our hotel, and our driver, Jhon, was incredibly kind and made us feel completely at ease. The boat captains were also very friendly and really added to our wonderful experience."
"Thanks to Yeny and crew as everything was organized perfectly from pickup to drop-off. The drinks were flowing, the music kept the atmosphere fun, and the entire excursion was an amazing experience from start to finish. I had such a great time and would definitely do it again on my next trip to Punta Cana."
"Absolutely incredible - the boat crew was fantastic and looked after you from beginning to end. The 3.5-hour duration was just right, and we had an absolute blast. We might have overdone it a little on the drinks, but that’s on us. You won't be let down."
"Our crew was outstanding! We received VIP treatment from start to finish. There were six of us in the group, and every one of us had a fantastic experience. I would absolutely recommend this private excursion. Everything went smoothly, from pickup to drop-off."
"We chartered this boat for my husband’s birthday, and it was an incredible experience. The crew was amazing, caring, attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We saw tons of marine life: colorful fish, stingrays, and even turtles. Highlights included jumping off the boat and using the catamaran slide. Hands down the best-organized excursion we've done in the Dominican Republic—no commercial pressure or pushy sellers, just pure enjoyment. Thank you for a memorable day. We 100% recommend it!"
"Absolutely amazing service. We rented a boat for a four hour tour in Punta Cana and enjoyed the snorkeling, the bar service, and the food. The took us over to a beach where we swam in a secluded area. It was truly a special experience. We genuinely felt taken care of the whole time out on the water. I would definitely book through these guys again. What a great way to spend the day in the beautiful Punta Cana."
"We had an absolutely incredible experience on our chartered yacht!! We book with this company regularly for our yacht charters, and it’s always the highlight of our entire vacation!! The crew was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the yacht was spotless and immaculate!! The planning process was also smooth and extremely well-organized!! I will continue to use this company and highly recommend them to all of my friends and clients!!"
"The boat trip was absolutely amazing. They took us to a great snorkeling spot filled with colorful fish and beautiful coral reefs. Along the way, we passed by the dolphin area and later stopped at a natural pool near the beach where everyone could relax, enjoy drinks, and listen to music. It was such a fun and memorable experience. I’ve done this tour two years in a row and it never gets old. Highly recommended."
For most visitors, yes. Catamarans are more stable (two hulls instead of one), so seasickness is almost unheard of. They have more open deck space for groups. They sit higher in the water which makes snorkeling stops easier to get in and out of. And they're generally more affordable than a similarly sized motor yacht.
Extremely unlikely. Catamarans are the most stable boat you can charter — the twin hulls eliminate almost all rocking. Combined with the calm Caribbean waters off Punta Cana, seasickness is rare. This is exactly why catamarans are the go-to choice for groups with kids, older guests, or anyone worried about motion sickness.
They actually sail. On days with good wind we cut the engines and let the catamaran move silently under sail — it's one of the best parts of the experience. When wind is light or we need to cover distance quickly (like the Saona Island trip), we use the engines. Most charters involve both.
Yes, and catamarans are actually the best boat for families. The stable twin-hull design means even young kids feel safe and comfortable. Life jackets are provided in children's sizes. The crew adjusts the itinerary for families — shorter snorkeling stops, more beach time, calmer routes. Non-alcoholic drinks are always part of the open bar.
Tipping is not required but always appreciated. If your crew went above and beyond — and they usually do — a tip of 10–15% of the charter price is customary. You can tip in US dollars or Dominican pesos. Hand it directly to the captain and he'll share it with the crew.
Bring sunscreen (reef-safe preferred), sunglasses, a towel, and your phone or camera. Wear a swimsuit and bring a cover-up. Everything else — food, drinks, snorkeling gear, floats, music system — is provided. Leave valuables at your hotel. We have dry storage on board for phones and wallets.
If you need to cancel more than 72 hours before your charter, you receive a full refund. Within 72 hours, we'll work with you to reschedule to another date during your trip. Weather cancellations are always fully refundable or rescheduled at no cost — safety comes first and we'll never take you out in unsafe conditions.
Every catamaran charter with us is 100% private. It's your group, your boat, your day. You won't share the catamaran with anyone you didn't invite. This is not a group tour or a shared excursion — it's a private charter with a dedicated captain and crew for your party only.
